I bought a Husky 250 coming from 450 sport quads my entire life. After the first couple of rides I thought 'what have i gotten myself into'. Now about 6 months later I am so comfortable on that bike! So happy I got a 250 and not a 450.
Glad to hear!
Personally have to agree. I’m not even old, 28yrs old and I went from the 2017 kx450 to the 2021 kx250 and my riding has been drastically improving. I got the 250 all in the effort to make myself a better rider and told myself during the decision that I’d get a 450 again shortly after. After 6 months on the 250. I have no desire to buy a 450 again. The new 250s are so insanely good and fun these days. No regrets going back to the 250 class
Another awesome upload great to see the newer bikes
Great format…quick to the point👍
I recently got back into riding and bought a KTM 350 XCF. I started back mainly racing harescrambles, but now want to get on the track more. I love my 350 in the woods, but I'll probably go for a 250 for my track bike. The Yamaha YZ250F looks strong too along with the Honda.
I went from 450 I had while doing my training with you last winter to a 250 and I’m almost 5 seconds faster on lap times now consistently whereas my 450 I could get 1 fast lap with the rest being 5 seconds behind it
Nice!
Hey Tyler
I took your advice and bought the 250
OMG its such a great bike .
Its true that it makes you improve your riding skills
Thanks Tyler
I just bought this bike. My previous bike was a 2007 Yamaha YZ450f that I bought new 15 years ago. The new 250 was butter smooth and easy to hold onto in comparison. The only thing that had me scratching my head was the gearing. What normally would be a 3rd gear jump on my old 450f is now 4th. It’s actually not a bad thing. As you will never use 1st gear, which eliminates accidentally shifting into neutral. If you carry your momentum well you can hold 3rd gear in turn.
I started riding again a couple of years ago after my youth 80ccm Enduro times. I am so hooked by this sport that I’ll make it my favorite hobby, beating golf, my favorite passtime up until know. I got myself a CRF 250 l dual type but mainly drive it through our Black Forest woods.- so I plan to get a true Enduro. Will do a Moto-Cross cross Training weekend next spring, the acadamy told me I will be training on this new CRF 250R model. Seing all that positive reviews, I can‘t wait for it to start. Although I am fascinated by the likes of Husqvarna and Beta, I feel this is what I need, having heard the pros for easy handling and power band. Could one of you briefly explain to me what ECU tunings are? Thanks to the guys who do this channel.
I totally agree my friend for his first bike got a 2014Kawasaki 450f it had all the mods so I got my self a 2002 Yz250f to go riding with him and at a local track we both had more fun and could ride my Yz250f faster on the track even for a older bike the 250f has just the right amount of power your average rider needs by the way I’m 56 years of age
Thanks for posting all the videos. I find them very helpful. I also have a 10 year old daughter who is really getting into motocross and I have her watch with me. I had her watch the your video on how to use a clutch last night. she is h
getting a ktm65 for her birthday.
thats a lot of bike for an inexperienced child. my friends son stepped up from a ktm 50 to a kx65 and it took him some time to get used to the drastic power increase not to mention the clutch and gears
As a Vet +50 racer , I had a 2019 YZ250F. Phenomenal bike , but , I was getting smoked on the starts against the 450s,350s. Most of my races are 5 laps so it's a sprint. Have a new Honda 450 and it's true what they say, a good start makes racing a lot better.
Really enjoyed the videos with you, Jett, AJ, Hunter, etc. all good stuff. Old slow vet rider probably going to downsize to a 250 from my 450 Husky. Good show.
Why not 350
The 350 cost a lot more, $8,099 vs’s $10,099. That’s did it for me. I wasn’t stoked on the air fork either. I just want to gas and go. One last thing to worry about. I also know Honda’s reliability is second to none.
i got a 450 as my first bike biggest mistake. My friends said you’ll eventually get used to it” But no i crashed almost broke my collarbone. the power was way too much for me and not really user friendly. I switched to a 250 two stroke and now i feel amazing and learning a lot better overall feel more comfortable too
Buddy a 250 two stroke is just as fast as a 450😂hit the throttle and you will see
hi i agree with you and i also think that the 450 is too powerful. however, going fast with a 250 in my opinion is more difficult than with the 450. the 250 must always be driven on the limiter and you must always have an excellent curve mileage and always pull it to the maximum to finish the jumps while with the 450 you can have a guide pass me the term "relaxed" then obviously if you want to push the 450 hard the risk of pulling it in the head is very high. i am a Sunday amateur driver .. i tried to do some laps with my kawa 250 and then i got on a friend's husky 450 and the lap time was the same from the very first time i was driving the 450 but I repeat I am an amateur compared to you who give us this advice. I am really torn about my next purchase .. surely it will not be another kawa. thank you very much for all the advice .. many greetings from italy
Great video!
Great job bro
I'm currently riding a 2006 yz250 and I'd say I'm a decent fast C rider or mid ish pack B rider. I'm very comfortable on my 2 stroke but it's tough to ride. Would this be a good jump for me? Was an A class/pro am quad rider back in like 2008 but bikes are super hard.
I’m in a very similar situation to you Tyler. I’m 31, been riding for 20 years and on 450s for over 10 years. I can ride them and safely handle them but honestly I’m kinda over the 450. Even though I can ride it I still have to hang on for dear life with all the HP and def get tired a lot quicker. I think a 250f with a pipe and ECU will be more than enough to put a smile on my face and maybe get some more enjoyment out of riding. Honda killed it with this bike!
A 350f is also a good choice
I went to a 350 and it’s rad. But this Honda is looking so good.
You had me then the lost me… but YOU HAVE ME AGAIN! Hell yeah brother 350 what you need. And custom ecu tuning. All these people don’t even know about ecu tuning everyone in the pro class has their custom tune on their eco
I see a lot of this videos saying buy a 250 over a 450, I wanna really stress that most of these recommendations are made at sea level, if you’re like myself and live at high elevation I’d recommend a 350 or 450. For being in Colorado and trying to ride a 250 at some of these tracks I legitimately cannot afford the maintenance. You will blow these engines up, you will smoke your clutches, owning a 450 allows me to be easier on the bike and makes up for the power loss that happens with a 250. I still wanna hit the bigger jumps on the track and being able to consistently do that on a stock 250 is near impossible but having the 450 allows that to work, so definitely consider where you will be riding before deciding on the 250. They are amazing bikes but power loss at elevation is a significant factor that I think gets overlooked
Buy a 450. For me at least, I blow the shit outta a 250. 450 won’t blow up on you. Got over 200 hours here on my husky never even cracked into the engine because the thing is a TANK!
@@haneagario8620 won't be for long. Just because it's still running decent dont mean to neglect the maintenance the bike needs to keep running strong and wore out Like your bike is going to be. It's called maintenance for a reason. I call it preventative maintenance. That is what gets over looked from new bike owners or even vet riders. Just saying!!!
@@ride208 respect that. Got almost 250 hours now I rode this morning perris pro day… bike still shreds until it starts backfiring though or the rings stop making enough I’ll crack it open, rings sill go first, no need for a valve adjustment yet the bike doesn’t backfire. What bike do you ride?
@@haneagario8620 I've got a 5 bikes lol. My kids say I'm obsessed. I've got a 08 yz450f, 98 yz400f, 08 crf250x, 03 kx250 and 125. Kids havr kx 65 and 85
Hard to let them go just to get a new bike when I know they all run excellent because I do the work myself. Although I wouldn't mind a new te300i
When I got back into riding after a 8 year break, I thought I could hop right back on a 450. I’m realizing now that was a mistake, so I’m going to be putting my 21 Yz450f up for sale as soon as I pick up a new 250.
Buy whatever bike you want to ride. My first bike was a 93 kx500. Anything is possible when you put your mind to it.
For me a 450 is way too fast. At 145 pounds and being a moderately fast vet rider I find a 250 fits me best, just with a little extra juice. I don’t race and purely ride for fun/love of the sport. Dropped in a cylinder works 270cc kit in my 2019 CRF250R and WOW! Along with a full PC exhaust system, vortex ignition and mapping to go along with it. Bike absolutely RIPS! Great bang for your buck and will be PLENTY of power for 90% of riders varying in weight, riding style, and ability. Makes great power while keeping reliability (in my experience thus far). Just my thoughts! On another note that new CRF 250R is amazing looking!
I wonder how much the cornering has improved on this one compared to the -08 crf 250 I have now, I hope a lot. The forks back at 2008 on Honda must have been the worst of all brands, and how to get enough weight on the frontwheel in corners only god knows, it's like sitting in an old rockingchair. The quality on the other hand must have been the best ever.
Im amature but I preffer 450, 250s are great but I dont feel comfortable when overeving the engine, puts me in stress a bit.
I raced Honda 450s upto 14 then smashed myself to pieces. Now 8 years later and near 40 I'm back racing but if I'm now on old twin shock 500s or 2 stroke 250s I'll practice on my son's Honda 250f... They improve your riding skill loads
I think I would still buy a 450F for one reason: maintenance. I'm very comfortable on my 250 2T, which has slightly more power than the 250 4 strokes and a snappy powerband. It'd still take some adjustment to get on a 450 because they are definitely more powerful and heavier, but I could lug the 450 around more and get away with not rebuilding it as often as a 250F, which is huge for me. The caveat to all this being you have to have good form and great clutch and throttle control or you might get yourself in trouble.
What would you say about the 2020 crf250r for a new rider? Adult beginner
Man I miss riding :(
I’m looking to upgrade from my crf230f to this
**Watches in CR500**
I just bought the 2022 Crf250r
Why is no one talking about the 350 from KTM and Husky? Aren't they basically the perfekt Mix between Power and easy Handling? I would Love to See a review of a 350
Cost did it for me. 100cc’s cost you an extra 2 grand.
I'd rather have a 250 smoker.
Yuuuuup last year of the kawi for me
100% FACT
Zack, consider buying a Yamaha. Kawasucksi isn’t the move.
Funny. I ride a yz250 and this bike has me considering getting rid of the 2t for it. Am I crazy?
@@livefreeandshred9818 yes.
Tyler,, why don’t the major four Japanese brands make a 350F? Everything I’ve heard about the 350’s seems so great. It has the cornering characteristics of a 250, less fatiguing to ride,, less chance for ‘most’ of us to get into a catastrophic predicament. Great bike for intermediate and vet riders. How are the sales numbers for the Austria branded 350’s? Do you think Honda would be the first one to pull the trigger?
Would cannibalize their own sales.
@@TheMxFactory That doesn't make sense, as they would still be selling bikes.
Excellent bike
It only makes sense if you have never owned and rode a couple bikes previously to get a 250 or even smaller. 450 is a monster for the inexperienced
I ride in the street so it will be good
Is it possible to be competitive in motocross on an older bike? I have a 2001 yz125 that I’m currently restoring and building and I was wondering if people had any experience racing a built older bike against modern machines.
@Kaleb Kinder yea but that’s ryno. He’s a beast. And he wasn’t quite as competitive on that CR as he would’ve been on his 450.
@Kaleb Kinder true
only if you race in the 125 class , and you will be way down on hp against modern Ktm and huskies, but if just for fun go for it , I mean Ryno could win on it but he's a freak of nature
2 strokes for life!🤘🏻
This is very off the topic but 125 2 stroke is the best.
I agree. Great beginner track bike
Always 🙌
pure opinion, I prefer my YZ250F over my CR125.
@@sqlb3rnfair enough I had a yz250f but went back to a 150, just suited me better.
'07CR125R here. Don't think I would want to switch over. But hypothetically, any opinions on a bike that I should look into for more Enduro style, than the Red Beast?
2022 250r is one of the cleanest bikes
@trav3510 trav3510 can’t blame you the Lucas oil graphics on the 2000 bikes
What if youve only done 20 hours on 21 crf 250rx on beach and tiny trails and you weigh about 280 pounds is a 250 still the better fit?
I’m 260 and do the same trail riding and tracks on my 22 KTM 250sxf and I have never felt like I lacked power.
@@dennisorozco2608 thankyou my bro
Learned on flat ground and ice on my dad's CR250R 2t and let me tell you......... dont do that. Ive got a deposit on this 250 four stroke because the 250 two stroke scares the shit out of me and is too fast to feel comfortable learning anything new.
I think way more people are worried about speed than need to be. Unless you're racing, don't really need to be super worried about riding fast.
100%
Man, I’m not sure what to take of this. Kinda Contradicting yourself here. I mean I can see for a beginner rider that a 250 F should be a better choice and you can learn your skills on one witn technique and carrying more momentum through corners, but…here are my thoughts, If you ride a 450 like like a 250f YOU are going to get hurt! Lol . And if you ride a 250f like a 450 you will not be impressed, lol For a smaller guy coming off minis yes a 250f OR a one two five is a better option.
450 is so easy for me to ride. Absolutely love my 2022 crf450. I would rather ride a 450 over a 250f any day. I rode several new 250s this season and they are so much more work for me to ride. I’m more of a vet expert these days and you can be so lazy on the 450. It’s all about throttle control guys.
throttle control lmao sometimes you get out of control and thats when average joes like urself die
Be aware this CRF 250 still has plenty of grunt! It still has plenty of power to give you a grin from ear to ear..... For the noobs in the sport!
nah man i stick to the 2 strokes
Can this bike handle glamis for I weigh about 138 with paddle?
HP is key for the dunes. You're light enough for a 250F in sand but the bike is going to struggle a bit. With a paddle you can do it but it isn't an easy task. A 250 2 stroke or 450 4 stroke is a better option.
I have a 1983 xr250
Hey Tyler, I'm building a private MX track and need your help with a couple of things. Anyway we can talk?
ang galing mo kaibigan,hinahangaan kita sa pag momotor..ingat kaibigan sa pag momotor...salamat po
ktm*hsq*gas gas has connecting rod on bushing🤓more durable🙃😉
So you think you're one of the few that can ride a 450, well I don't remember ever saw you getting any closer to James Stewart or Chad Reed?
the vids are getting shorter how come?
Yeah nah I got the 450 I like all the powwa baby
Where are you guys located now?
Still in Austin! More specifically Lockhart
Awsome
:)
So what Tyler is saying is “so you suck so much more than I do so get a wussy bike” 😂😂😂😂 I’m jkjkjk. I completely understand where he’s coming from
Makes my 2019 look dated 😞
I think that no new rider should buy a Brand new bike
I’m getting a 450 and I’ll just do the same and ride in third jk
Do as I say not as I do.
Exactly
But it looks amazing
It sure does 🤤
@@TheMxFactory pause
I have friends that bought 450 moto bikes....then they get on my kx250xc and say “i should have bought a 250”. I try riding a 450 as a intermediate level rider and not enjoy it at all lol you dont need a big bike to go fast 😂
🤌
fk it. i moved from 125cc 2 strke to 450, go big or die trin' we are all not the same...
that’s one way to sell more 450’s lol, tell a moto guy/girl they aren’t skilled enough to ride on something powerful… that’s now the bike they have in their crosshairs. Great reverse psychology right there😁
Nothing but pure intentions here. 250 is the way to go.
@@TheMxFactory fair enough
I went from a 250 two stroke to a 250f and I couldn't be happier. While the two stroke is a ton of fun, the four stroke is just so much easier to ride and I'm faster too.
If you’re faster on the 4 stroke it’s because you don’t know how to ride the 2 stroke well enough, simple as.
First like and comment
Thanks for the support!
Ok
briden
Their I no chance I can afford that
Maybe a few years down the line!
@@TheMxFactory yeah I am trying to buy a used 250 to race
99% of the people riding/owning 450’s should be nowhere near a 450. Almost everyone who has one has no business being on one. You just can’t tell some people though 🤷🏻♂️ they buy it for the clout of saying they own and ride a 450 and that’s it.
No thanks,love my 450r.
you dont need a 450 unless you're over 170 lbs (without gear) or very fast/experienced like Tyler..or you ride in the dunes/desert. a 250f is more than enough for 99% of the riding population
You have no idea what you are talking about sir
@@mitchelleveleigh9142 yes i do
2nd
Thanks for supporting!
This video is a cope. sadly honda lost the motorcycle wars long ago… yamaha 2 strokes are the best, hands down. Don’t argue preference with me, the yama will smoke your shit.
